The local government of Iloilo City proposed an ordinance banning riding-in-tandem to obstruct criminality concerning motorcycles.

Before the long holiday in the first of November, City Councilor Plaridel Nava II filed a resolution forbidding of taking someone for a ride other than the motorcycle driver. The motorcycle is agreed to be used as a single-seated vehicle in the city.

Nava said that most of the crimes recorded by the Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) were committed by motorcycle riding-in-tandem.

Although there are several exemptions, the resulting violation is accountable of P5,000 penalty or imprisonment of three months, based on the proposal.
